There was no background information on any of the staff, so for most of the story she was going to have to rely on interviews.

It had been recently painted, but the yard, with patches of burned grass and bushes in need of trimming, made it look a little run down. The law office to the left had a neat privet hedge across the front and window boxes filled with geraniums.
